Even though this isn't as heavy-duty as I would like (when you want to get the tape started with one hand, sometimes it moves a little), the bright color more than makes up for that. I enjoy seeing the aqua color pop on my desk :)

Scotch brand has always been a quality product and I was very happy to get two of the blue dispensers for our staff's desks. They brighten the room and are very user friendly. The non skid bottoms are extremely helpful when pulling the tape to tear.

I love this little guy! So cute! It's just like the standard black scotch tape dispenser (quality, weight, size), except in a really fun color. I didn't have a problem with sand coming out and it came with all the parts, so don't be discouraged! The picture makes it look a lot darker than it actually is though. It's more of a Tiffany blue and less of the dark turquoise it looks like. I personally think it's cuter in person. I'm very satisfied, it was a relatively cheap way to add some fun and personality to my dull work space. Would definitely recommend.
